Manufacturer Part Number: 285805

The Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It controls the flow of hot and cold water into the washer. This component is crucial for starting the wash cycle, as it opens to allow water to enter and closes to stop the flow once the appropriate level is reached, ensuring efficient wash performance.

Causes of a bad Water Inlet Valve can include mineral deposits and sediment build-up, which can obstruct the flow of water, or mechanical failure such as a broken solenoid that prevents the valve from opening or closing properly.

Symptoms of a bad Water Inlet Valve include:

  • Water not filling the tub at the beginning of the cycle
  • Water leaking from the valve
  • Washer not starting due to inability to fill
  • Unusual noises from the valve area during operation

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Joe, The valve can be installed with the coils in the downward position but it is recommended to have them upright. This is for the purpose of, if there is a leak the water would drip onto the electrical connections.

Hello Robert. If you can stop the water from entering the machine by turning off the timer or unplugging the unit, you will need to look for a bad pressure hose or replace the pressure switch. If the only way to shut off the water is at the shut off for the water hoses, you will need to replace the water valve in the unit.

Hello Toni! If the unit is filling/dripping water inside the tub when not in use or after the cycle has complete you'll need to replace the water inlet valve. Thanks.

Hello! This unit is designed to run cold/hot or both at the same time, depends on the cycle you select. The manufacturer designed this way so that the water temperature is at an optimum range to activate the suds in the detergent. Hope this makes sense!

Keith G for Model Number whirlpool washing machine

I purchased a water inlet valve for a whirlpool LSC8244eq1 washing machine. When I took the old one off I forgot to label the connections. I realize the red connector is for hot, and white is cold. Does it matter which way I re-connect the new inlet valve. I think there are (2) wires on one of the hot and cold connections. Which one goes on top, and which one goes on the bottom if you are looking at it from inside the washer. I realize the hot is on bottom. But the connectors one has (2) wires on it for the hot and cold. So I just need to know which one goes on top, and which one goes on bottom for both the hot and cold connections. If I could find a wiring diagram I am sure it would tell me..Many thanks

Annie, If you can unplug the unit and the water shuts off then the issue would be in the controls of the unit sending power to the valve when it should stop. If the water still continues to run with unplugged then the issue would be in a faulty water valve that is stuck open.
